Zusammenfassung: | Abstract Background Hepatic regeneration requires coordinated signal transduction for efficient restoration of functional liver mass. This study sought to determine changes in lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and LPA receptor (LPAR) 1–6 expression in regenerating liver following two-thirds partial hepatectomy (PHx). Methods Liver tissue and blood were collected from male C57BL/6 mice following PHx. Circulating LPA was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and hepatic LPAR mRNA and protein expression were determined. Results Circulating LPA increased 72 h after PHx and remained significantly elevated for up to 7 days post-PHx. Analysis of LPAR expression after PHx demonstrated significant increases in LPAR1, LPAR3 and LPAR6 mRNA and protein in a time-dependent manner for up to 7 days post-PHx. Conversely, LPAR2, LPAR4 and LPAR5 mRNA were barely detected in normal liver and did not significantly change after PHx. Changes in LPAR1 expression were confined to non-parenchymal cells following PHx. Conclusions Liver regeneration following PHx is associated with significant changes in circulating LPA and hepatic LPAR1, LPAR3 and LPAR6 expression in a time- and cell-dependent manner. Furthermore, changes in LPA–LPAR post-PHx occur after the first round of hepatocyte division is complete. |
